LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Rapper Tory Lanez has been hospitalized after allegedly being stabbed on Monday by another inmate in a California prison. Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting hip-hop artist Megan Thee Stallion in the feet.

The incident occurred in the yard of the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi shortly before 7:30 a.m. Lanez was then transported to a hospital in Kern County, as reported by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR).

Neither his condition nor the extent of his injuries was immediately known.

CDCR spokesperson Pedro Calderón Michel said prison staff immediately responded, called 911 and began medical aid on Lanez.

The prison’s investigative unit and the Kern County District Attorney’s Office are investigating, he said.

A motive for the attack was not immediately clear.

No further details were immediately available.

In December 2022, the 32-year-old Canadian rapper, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, was found guilty of three felonies: assault using a semiautomatic firearm, possessing a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and firing a gun with gross negligence.

Megan, whose legal name is Megan Pete, testified during the trial that in July 2020, after they left a party at Kylie Jenner’s Hollywood Hills home, Lanez fired the gun at the back of her feet and shouted for her to dance as she walked away from an SUV in which they had been riding.

A judge rejected a motion for a new trial from Lanez’s lawyers, who are appealing his conviction. They did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Megan recently alleged that Lanez was harassing her from prison through surrogates, and in January a judge issued a protective order through 2030 ordering him to stop any such harassment or any other contact.
